Our BleBsetl Lord that lonned upon
this text and subject permit me to
say this as 1 have observed the life
and character and the power of
Pnstor Wilson as a preacher and
a pastor; I want to congratulate
these -who are responsible for having
the foresight and tbo willingness of
bpirit to respond to the guidance
of the Holy Spirit when He gave this
man of God to this field.
Today as in that bygone time
of which my text is a lomlnisconco
God Almighty sitting high upon- His
Throne and lifted up above all hu-
man rule and authority and above
the iise and progress the decadence
and downfall of nations: God Al
mighty I say seeks is ever seeking
truth and learned in his exegesis. '
fco wnen uod Aimlighty looked upon
this field some two years ago I
imagine that lfo said what 1s ex-
pressed in this our text: "And I

an age in the history of (he world
that we stand so much in need of

embodiment.
There is ground for congratula-

Oklahoma when I say that you have
auueu to your ranks a distinguished
personage that has. been our highest
delight to appreciate. As a piesid-
nig omcer or two distinguished bod-
ies that your honored pastor has
ho high privilege of being a mem-
ber I confess to you that we haye
indeed as well as yourselves been
wonderfully blessed by having his
wonrtPrrui counsel and learned ex-
uplift and redeem and fill up your
body with that which is lacking of
tho affections of Christ.
So I repeat that I feel myself
highly honored to bo chosen to speak
these words of praise at this anni-
versary in honor to this distinguish-
ed preacher and pastor. And I
closo with these words:
There isvno touch of servility in
Uhristian disciplcBhip. it Is dig-
nified and exrilted. We are to reign
in life that is In this HfoT to icign
over sin and temptation over the
HeBh with tho affections and iust
over tho prince of tho power of tho
air.
We get the necessary equipment
through the gtace of Christ. In our
Father's house on high there shall
also be the blending of loyalty Lord-
snip snail merge with seivantship
rulership with allegiance dominion
with helpfulness.
The tin one of God and of the
Lamb shall bo in it; and His ser
vants shall serve Him. An eternity
ot loving service was to Thomas
KempisUhe favorite thought of the
agelpss lire. And it is the life 'of
service to which we are called in
this world. The Savior of men
wrought out His career along this
line. He interpreted life in terjns
of service. This Is the law for Ills
followers and in the whole hearted
application of this law dp they pro-
cure for themselves .and others a
rich instnlhuont of the blessedness
to be fully known in the halls of
Zion. v
In the matchless beauty wonder-
ous wealth and intimate sweetness
does tho nivine approach the hu-
man even as a bride adorned for
her husband; and if in one aspect
life Is a battle field In which wo
must face the stem and wrestle
with tho strong It should also bo
greeted and used by the children
of a thrilling destiny as a constant
marriage ceremony between Heaven
and Eaith.
Amen.

if
m'Miner of men tliev shall nut. in
places of trust and power. And
upon you 1 heap congratulations
for having seemed the sei vices of
IM" distinguished minister and pas-
tor. The success of my beloved Dr.
Wilson that has come to you during
yojir pastorate here haB been he-
cause you have u personality of
purpose In tho piesentation of ihe
truth that you have received l.rom
Him who has sent you. Like tile
apostle of old who possesses the
Hiine thrilling purpose when ho said
"I determined not to know anything
five Jesus Christ and Him Crucified."
That one thing covoied the whole
lange of his being; thoughts words
?cts and that is the sacrifice of
Jesus. Tho groat truth that you
have preached the truth of the Cross
has filled not only this proud con-
secrated church but It has permeat-
ed and thrilled the whole city of
Muskogee with a Christian con-
sciousness that has stirred tho ery
depths of the inmost souls of .Men.
constrains them and drives thorn to
proclaim the most marvellous 'facts
in all Divine nnd human history
God 4n Cluist reconciling tho world
unto Himself. Not through a
M ran fro mysterious incarnation
though Christ was God manifested
in tho flesh; nor thiough tho Illum-
ination of a matchless doctiiuo
though of Christ It wns -aid "Nevor
a Man Snake Liko This Man."
My text shows that it is God Al-
mighty that gives to any church-or
My tet sa.vs: "God Sou eh t for n
Man." God has always sought for
men and ho still is seeking for
men and indeed no man cau fill the
place this honored man has filled
with credit to himself with most
distinguished honor to his parish.
It is the Almighty that must seek
men.
Ur. Ailington Wilson T am sure
that vou are familiar with the
thought that I am going to advance
now: Thore i.s in every life thp
period of silence. There are no
convictions; there are no responses
for the reason that thore Is no
sneaking universe for that life. Then
follows the period in which voices
ring out in tho twilight and the
awakenod spirit rushes on Into mis-
taken interpretations nut for the
true man the process does not stop
here. The great hour comes in
which tho voice of God is heard In
an understanding heart. So when
God spake tp you with an under-
standing heart vou said like Sam-
uel "Speak Lord thy servant 'hear-
eth Thoo." Why? The will of God
was the moiemost thought in" your
mind. The gospel tools God had
given you were given as a golden
opportunity for a well rendered ser-
vice; your personality presents a
wonderful mastery; self develop-
ment; and truly it should be to
be God's true servant requires a
lifo of self devotion of putting your
best self at the point of ueod striv-
ing In all sacred and sacrificial
uses of life to bless the world to
